Police are still searching for Akil’s killer.

“It was really too much for him,” added Makini Akil. “It was really like heartbreak.”

The bloodshed was set in motion when an upstairs neighbor forced an unwanted visitor out of the two-story brick building on E. 219th St. near White Plains Road.

The man stomped over to his car, grabbed a gun, and stormed back to the front door, cops said. The gunman then pounded on the locked front door before smashing its top window with the pistol’s handle.

Alarmed by the banging, Duro Akil, his brother and father came out into the hallway — unaware that the man on the other side of the door was carrying a gun. The man opened fire through the door, striking Akil.

He had recently spent two months with his daughters — ages 8 and 13 — who live out of state.

Ras held a bachelor’s degree from Morehouse College in Atlanta and a master’s degree in communications from New York University. Makini Akil said he recently left Fox News to pursue several entrepreneurial endeavors, including producing a film on the meaning of Kwanzaa.

Ras also deejayed events in the community and led a monthly healing retreat, his daughter said.

“There are so many people who can speak to how giving and well-liked he was,”she said.
